Little Hero | Chicago Special Needs Photographer
This was a very special session for a very special little boy. Sean has chromosome 18q syndrome. It is a rare chromosomal disorder that produces several complications, including cognitive delays, muscle weakness, vision problems, etc. Because of this syndrome, he also has cerebral palsy. At 5 years of age, Sean struggles to lift his head…
Read MoreStudio | Chicago Children's Photographer
So when I had Sarsha’s three-year picture session the other week (blogged here), I had also brought my studio equipment but had a little disaster. My lighting didn’t work…at all. That is why the previous session was 100% outside. But we wanted to get just a few studio shots, as well, so I got to…

So this was just a little mini…
